What I don’t understand is all of these movies that are coming out of hollywood (Saw, Hostel, etc) and yet if you had any of these images on your computer, out of the context of a movie, you’d be put away.

human nature, we are all morbid fucks. Drive by a nasty car crash and try not to look.
While I agree these ads need to be reigned in, I don’t understand a parent who would allow a 6 yr. old to watch channels other than those intended for children only. Even at that, when my children were young and vulnerable I restricted their TV viewing to Sesame Street and Passe Partout (Radio Canada). At all other times, the TV was off until they were nice and safely asleep in their beds. Supervise your child’s TV viewing and you won’t have to explain dubious content to them.
